Twelfth-century Water-Moon Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva in the Water-Moon Form), now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the sculpture’s description on artsmia.org:

“This form of the bodhisattva presides over his own paradise, Potolaka, which is described in scripture as a rugged seaside cave from which Avalokiteshvara could admire the reflection of the moon in the water. Appropriately, he appears meditative and relaxed and is seated informally in the “royal-ease” posture...Believers might look to a sculpture like this as a guide for their own journeys toward enlightenment.”

12th C CE Water-Moon Guanyin

Seated figure of bodhisattva Guanyin, late 11th-early 12th century.

From the sculpture's page on artsmia.org:

*"A bodhisattva is an enlightened being who has delayed entering paradise in order to help others attain enlightenment. This figure represents the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, known to the Chinese as Guanshiyin (later also as Guanyin), which means 'he who observes the sounds of the world'—including cries for help."*

Green Tara, 14th-15th century CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. 

From the sculpture's description on [artsmia.org](https://collections.artsmia.org/art/31183/green-tara-tibet) :

*Green Tara is one of the most revered female bodhisattvas, a being who postpones enlightenment to assist others on earth. She is the companion of the Cosmic Buddha Amoghasiddhi and equally transmits his gifts to the worshiper. Remarkable for its size and age, this statue is made from pieces of sheet copper—some now missing—that were hammered, formed, and fastened with rivets. The deity’s right hand, opened in the gift- bestowing gesture, would have rested on her right knee. Her left hand once held the stem of a lotus, which blossomed at her shoulder.*

This model has been repaired for Sketchfab sharing - the upper legs are open in the actual sculpture, but closed and textured in this model.

Green Tara, 14th-15th century CE

Bodhisattva, Shanxi Province, Jin Dynasty, c. 1200, Cassia wood, traces of polychromy, rock crystal. Musée du Cinquantenaire (Brussels, Belgium). Made with ReMake and ReCap from AutoDesk.

A bodhisattva is a "promised enlightenment," but delays its entrance into nirvana to help all living beings to attain illumination. The crystalline pupils are made of rock crystal. Such care is justified by the fact that the consecration of a Buddhist statue consisted in opening his eyes ritually. This ceremony gave him a soul and made it an object of worship. The tiara in her hair, the necklace on her chest, the drapery retained at the waist by an elaborate belt are the image of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni. The bodhisattva originally stood in a temple next to a larger Buddha. The present presentation at the museum aims to restore the oblique angle of vision under which it appeared to the visitor in the Chinese sanctuary.

> Wood with remains of colouring

> Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of compassion, sits here on a rock in the paradise of Potalaka, a bent leg connoting "royal serenity". According to the traditional visual vocabulary, she is gazing at the moon reflected in the surface of the water at her feet. Her crown bears an image of the Buddha Amithaba (Chinese Emituofo), to whom Guanyin is assigned in the Buddhist pantheon.
